PREVIOUS PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Prior to joining EnerNex, Jeremy was a Senior Project Manager with Southern California Edison (SCE) where he worked on emerging markets and technologies for Demand Response (DR), including pilots to integrate DR into California Independent System Operator’s (CAISO) Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU) wholesale electricity market. Jeremy joined SCE in 2005 as a Project Manager during the early stages of the Edison SmartConnectTM Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program where he worked on the strategy and feasibility of next generation advanced metering technology resulting in the industry benchmark SCE AMI use cases which were developed with EnerNex. Jeremy managed a portfolio of projects starting with exploring the feasibility of AMI and then examining DR potential of AMI and smart grid technologies and products to facilitate automated and Integrated Demand Site Management (IDSM). He most recently helped develop and pilot DR aspects of MRTU, which allow Demand Response Providers (DRP) to directly participate in California Independent System Operator (CAISO) wholesale electricity markets in competition with generation resources.

From 2007-2008, Jeremy worked with the SCE Integrated Process Owner (IPO) for Direct Access (DA), Energy Service Providers (ESP) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) business processes. During this time, Jeremy managed a multidisciplinary CCA implementation project in support of a legislative mandate and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) ruling allowing cities and counties to procure power for their residents.
